It's the electronic game that's as fast as you are. Test your speed and agility in a race against time using five targets and an electronic handheld unit. To start, set up your targets on the table, around the room, around the house or throughout the yard. Then, follow the announcer's commands as you zip around your racecourse to tag your targets with the handheld unit. The fastest time wins. Features four game modes that challenge your speed, skill, memory, coordination and teamwork. Includes ergonomically designed Hyper Dash unit and five labelled targets. Requires 3 "AAA" batteries, not included.

From the Manufacturer

Wild Planet Hyper Dash will challenge you to be your best. It takes no time at all to learn, but selectable skill levels and four completely different game modes mean the challenge will always keep you busy. Hyper Dash consists of one electronic tagger and five different colored and numbered targets. The tagger plays pre-recorded music and calls out which targets you need to strike. It tracks the amount of time taken to complete each course. There’s no limit to the distance between targets. Further targets result in more running and exercise. Hyper Dash can be played indoors or outdoors; solo, in pairs, or in teams. As your speed, skill and agility improve, the series of commands becomes longer and more challenging. Level one calls out the colors you need to tag, level two includes numbers, level three adds special commands like double strike, triple strike, reverse, double reverse and level four features compute-strike like addition/subtraction problems in which you tag the sum or difference of the numbers called out. Other play modes include the memory game of Micro Dash and multi-player relay races that promote teamwork. For a game of Hide ‘n’ Dash, let your opponent hide the targets before you begin. Every game has encouraging cheers and upbeat music to keep kids on their feet, expending energy and having fun.

For any technical details and minutia, I suggest that you look up Amazon's official review because I could not possibly be as thorough or as knowledgeable.

Now, this is what I can say from my own perspective: we have 2 pre-tween boys, one 5 yr. old girl, 2 dogs and about a dozen kids living in the neighborhood and showing up just about every day in the summer for the pool and the trampoline. We bought this from Amazon back in May and everyone loved it, including the dogs. So, for most of this summer, whenever they decided to play Hyper Dash, we were having the kids running around as directed, the dogs running after the kids and myself, trying to focus on the stuff I was supposed to be studying (for an exam). Based on other reviews, the game can be played indoors as well. We never allowed it but, as the weather turns colder, we may allow them to play in the basement whenever they get together for some fun.

Now, talking about things the kids 'learn'... let's not exaggerate :). Sure, there is a level of the game where the kid has to compute 3-2 quickly but, come on, there's not A LOT to learn. It's mostly physical and that's how the kids play it and it's good this way. They ARE running a lot but do not expect to see better grades in school.

What you do not see in the Amazon official review it's the durability factor. I am pleased to state that, after 4 months and, probably 20-30 hours of play, nothing broke yet. I expect the game to be still unbroken after one year.

This is a very old toy that did not work. These sellers sent it with bad batteries in it that leaked all over, ruining the table it was set on. When I contacted the seller about it, they said I had to pay to send it back. Not what anyone wants to hear, so instead I put it in the hazmat trash where it belonged. I buy toys & products all the time for children since I am a pediatric therapist, but after this terrible experience I will never buy from this seller ever again!! There are far better sellers on Amazon who are good to their customers and do sell decent, working used toys or stands behind them, this DEFINITELY ISN'T one of them!! I will for sure be looking to purchase from someone else from now on, hope this will save you from being duped too!!

My six-year-old nephew received this toy for Christmas, and as my mom and I watched him play, we looked at each other and were both thinking the same thing: We need one of those. After Christmas we both ordered our own Hyper Dash, hoping it would inspire us to do a little more exercise--and it has.

I spend most of my time sitting in front of a computer, and though I exercise on a treadmill every day, I'm always looking for something that will prompt me to move more. I set up the targets around my kitchen and dining area and do several run-throughs while the coffee is brewing in the a.m. or while dinner is cooking in the evening. It's a fun way to get the blood flowing. Mom has her targets set up in the family room and does a few mid-morning runs each day.

The educational value is so-so. The colored targets are numbered one to five and kids can learn to quickly identify colors and do simple math equations. But I can't say enough about this toy's value as a fun way to inspire kids--and adults of all ages--to get moving. In our family, it's a favorite of three generations.

I ordered the Wild Planet Hyper Dash toy on a whim after seeing it advertised on the Amazon.com front page and I had it delivered at my daughter's house since we were going to spend Xmas at her place.Upon arrival, our 14-year-old grandson installed the batteries in it and the toy worked perfectly. The toy was an instant hit with our 2-year-old granddaughter, even though sometimes she had trouble understanding what the robotic voice was saying. This toy helped to reinforce her knowledge of the color, which she is currently learning. Also, the toy is well-built and tough, because she was hitting it quite hard against the targets until we showed her to do it more gently.All of us adults found this toy quite amusing and it provided us with a few hours of fun. I say a few hours because that's all we could play before we all got tired of running around in the living room trying to tag each target.Two weeks later, our granddaughter is still having fun playing with this toy at home, according to our daughter.We definitely recommended this toy for everyone.

This game is a hit all around! We had it years ago but it broke. You must get this version, not the new one. This one is so much better. It is great for physical activity and even mom and dad like playing with our kids, ages 7 & 9...but younger kids can play too if they know there colors and numbers. There are many versions, including TEAM DASH where you can partner up against another team and COMPU DASH where basic math is needed. Also MICRO Dash for a non running version. GET THIS GAME and get everyone moving!!

Our kids love this game. They were a little skeptical as to how to play or what to do, but as soon as I popped in the batteries and turned it on - they quickly figured it out. We used it over Thanksgiving weekend when nothing but football would be on tv. I really didn't want to be annoyed with "I wanna watch this" and "I wanna watch that" or "I'm tired of my fifty DS games" and the infamous "I'm bored". With two kids under the age of seven, this happens daily. I picked this up for a camping trip, but wasn't able to use it there. So it filled in some "boring" time during Thanksgiving. They ran around the backyard, hitting the disks that come with it. It's like a physical exercise version of Simon's Says. The kids loved it and want to use it more often. We hope that it lasts a lot longer than some of the other reviews. It is made of the typical thin plastic that lots of other games and toys are now made of. I am a little concerned on how it will hold up over time with consistant playing. Our kids didn't do the math problems, so I'm curious as to how they will like that.
